Just thinking out side the box... hoping it may help.
1: It's been tried before (going both ways across the border with various cars/makes/models), a certain CSX4000 series just got caught up in this scam of the system and was on Ebay "for export only" (neither to the US, Canada, or the UK I believe). Owner of the car lost his investment when it got impounded by the powers that be. Then sold at a government auction, again for "Export Only". Never to darken either countries sovereignty ever again.

2: No reason why you cannot do so, I know of an early LHD ERA sitting in storage awaiting a trip to Australia when it's time has come.

I'm really curious how someone wanting a Coupe got derailed into this particular CSX car that got caught "in the system"? Someone breaking the law got caught. Intentional or not, and if not, they should have known better. Unknowing or not, it's too bad, but as they say "ignorance of the law is no excuse", but again, what does that have to do with the price of tea in china?

I guess option 1) is therefore seemingly not legal... Best stay well away from that!

As for option 2) I'd love to do the same for an ERA (particularly for 289).
Let me know if you come across any others, with full documentation.
